Directions:
In a large pot combine the butter and oil over medium heat. Add onion slices and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next add the sugar, flour, stock, water, salt and pepper. Simmer on low heat for 30 minutes. Add Burgundy wine. Let soup simmer, but not boil, for 2 hours. Slice baguette into thin slices and toast lightly in the broiler or toaster oven. Ladle soup into oven-proof bowls and place 1 toasted baguette slice in each soup bowl. Sprinkle with cheese. Place soup bowls under the oven broiler until cheese is melted and lightly browned. If you do not have oven-proof bowls, heat bowls in the microwave just long enough to melt the cheese. Serve soup immediately.
